bni the 'meanthne anis went well with
the play. Moreover, as it proceeded
the Queen began to show the liveliest
interest in the .personality of the new
Rcsaiindl-
'Tell me, my lord," she said, turn-
ing to Pembroke, an acknowledged
authority in all matters relating, to
the theatre. "who is the sweet chit in
the doublet and trunk hope -who can-
not, coueter£eit manhood for all. her
strivings?"
"By the ,bill of the play; your grace,
she !a called Rosalind and is appar-
ently of the sex •of which she is ao
aoor syn imitation,''_.•
"Pshaw, my lord!" said the, Queen
ccn tempttsonsly, "do you think I have
neifher•ears nor, eyes? This is a Ros-
alind that will never' be able to grow
a beard. She is of my own sex and
a sweeter chit .1 never saw in all my
life,'
"Far be it from me to ga'nsay your
grace," i -aid Pembroke with an e•ahor-
ate air, "but according to tho billof
th' ;,lay I have in my hand this,Resa-
lin, i.; :iupersonated' by a yours; Ita-
li:tn eentlemad, one Signor Arrigo
Bandineilo by game."
-"A young Italian fiddlestick!" said
the Queen. "I tell yon that girl is
as' much an Italian' gentleman as I
am. She shall attend us when the
play is at„ an.•.end. We will go, into
this. matter more hilly." '
However, when the play was over,
it was the author who was first hon-
ored with. a sumtnous to the royal
pavilion. The, Queen received' 'him
with high' good humor. For the time
fieine she had, forgotten the personal-
ity of Rosalind in the charm and
;lemour .of the play itself. • In the
graciousness of her . mood she paid
many compliments to the author of
"As You Like It', and was fain to ada
mit "that she'Iiked it very- well."
"You are a 'wender1 tl man, Master
Shakespeare,",said the Queen: "And
think you mustJie the liappies.t'1Yi:an
alive." • . .
But there w.as nothing in the face
of the 'player to suggest that destiny.
The somber • eyes framed a question
which the -august lady was quick to
read and in the expansiveness Of her
mood • was even prepared to answer.
"You inhabit an enchanted world,
Master 'Shakespeare.. All the persons
in it are of your creation. Ydu .can
order their natures and 'their destin-
ies exactly as' it pleases you."
"Alas, your grace!" The poet shook
his head.
"Tell me, is it not so?" said .the
Queer., •
"The world I inhabit, your grace, is
that of human experience. It is nei=
ther less nor more than that which
we all know. A make of plays must
depict life in its verity, and that is a
hard matter and one which tears the
soul." • ,r+
The playwright spoke with the slow
precision of one whom has felt in his
intliost fibres the' long •drawn agony
of mortal life, The Queen was a lit-
tle amazed. In such a. bearing and in
such a speech there was not a trace
of that enchanted mind, all airy light-
ness, all 'delicate fantasy, Which had
wrought such ravishment., Nor was
there any sign of personal satisfac-
tion in the triumph which had been
gained- or- in the fruits'- of'' success
which mow he was beginning to ,gath-
er in ample measure: Thg Queen, be-
ing a woman, was' a little inclined to
be piqued by the aloofness of the
dramatist.
"Would yea have us believe, Mas-
ter Shakespeare," she said, "that the
glad world which your intimitable,
fancy creates for -the pleasuring of
your fellowmen is not a source of
joy and delight to its possessor? And
would you have us believe 'that the
homage which all the world has come
to pay to you brings not pride nor
happiness?" -
The playwright who stood before
his sovereign with a throng of. great
persons gathered round, him, . answer-
ed these •,• rather embarrassing ques-
tions with a curiously unstudied hum-
ility, Suolt a modesty of bearing
made an' effect of perfect sincerity.
Moreover, there was a complete ab-
sence of self -regard. Few ordeals
could have been more, trying for a
man of small education, who knew
but tittle of courts; than to be expos-
ed to the gaze of many ,sharp', end
jealous eyes, and to be compeller( to
answer on the spur of the occasion a
series of most intimate • questions
concerning himself and his art. Such
an ordeal would have been a tax up-
on the alert readiness of mind and
the self-possession tif' a highly train-
ed courtier. But there was. not a
trace of awkwardness in the bearing
of this singular m'an in the .black
doublet barred with yellow. Indeed,
there Was nothing .to suggest that
the situation in which he found him-
self was in any way unusual. • And
there was no evidence that the pres-
ence of others, of even the highest
in the land, was a source of embar-
rassment to him. No man could have
been more completely -et his ease or
more completely master of himself,
"I will answer the second of your
questions first, your grace," he said,
epeaking very slowly and looking di-
rectly at the Queen. "I ant indeed •a
very proud man that -the .travail of
my mind should have' given pleasure
to those• whose favorable ' opinion
must everbe coveted by all honorable
met!. I unfeignedly rejoice and I am
' fliled "vt'tth gratitude that your grace
and those about you are pleased to
approve my labors. And whatever of
happiness comes to me comes to me
in that."
"That is 'well spoken, Master
Shakespeare," said the Queen, "You
do well to allow that. And now touch-
ing the first of these questions I
would put to you, Ise it that you take
no heftiness from 'the possessions"and
44,
the• exercise of your
gifts?"
';pone, your grace, They are but
fife mirror and the counterfeit of life.'
We makers of prays live in a world
of shadows -ea world of shadows wov-
en out of our own vitals as a spider
weaves his web,... and from which by•
night .or -.day there is no escape.
"Would you escape them, .Master
Shakespeare, these inimitable chil-
dren of your fancy?"
'-Yes, • your grace, I would' on occa-
sion; I would almost `yield life itself
to do so."
The Queen was agtonished, by the
almost passionate nature of the an-
swer. This, man was no shallow de-
viser of masques to speed a summer's
day, but one to whom existence was
ate almost intolerable burden, which
admitted -'a very little allevietion.zAnd
.he was one, who read its riddles with
tiie eyes of a•.seer.
"I begin to take your meaning, Mas-.
ter Shakespeare," said the Queen. "I
had supposed,, that when these chil-
dren of your fancy laughed and 'Made
merry. you also rejoiced. But I had
forgotten that even in these plays of
yours the sadness outweighs the
mirth as is the,_case with life itself,
whereby a double burden is laid up-
on the endurance of their creator."
"Yes, your grace, that is indeed
true. And yet that 'is not the full
u'easure of a poet's u.nhappiness."
"In what does a poet's unhappiness
consist, Master .Shakespeare?"
"It consists, your grace, in this. A
poet sees ,too much, feels' too much,
knows too, much. He is stretched
perpetually on the rack of his excess.
He reads more ihto' life than life it-
-self will. hold, Of a .most private
grief he wild make a little song. He
will. amuse the groundlings .with the
tale of some deep injury he has suf-
iered in his bones. When he moves
the crowd -to tears, his fees are paid
in blood.". •
There was something in the nature
of the answer which held t;ie Queen.
Good sense was her highest•'quality,
and' it ' was that quality in ethers
which never failed'.'".o speak to her.
She w•;,F captivated by the bearing..,of
this man, in' whom she recognized'.
not only the master•of hit craft, but'.
also what pleased her.'even more, a
mature mind which had much' too say
to 'her own. acute and worldly wise
ORE.
indeed, so gratified' was the Queen';
with the demeanor and the mental
quality of Mr. William",Shakespeare,
that, . a.s a -•signal mark of her favor,
he was, eo>xlmandedto sit in her pres='
ence. The sovereign was prone, to
carry her. Tudor sense of importance
'to ridiculous lengths, but there was
some subtle instinct lurking within
her which sought equality between
"the fair vestal throned by the west"
and the monarch of an empire infin-
itely wider than her own.
most noble
OHA,PTER N,XXIII
It was such a spectacle as could
rarely have been seen in' that -place.
'this homely fellow- without airs or
graces. or pretensions to fashion, seat-
ed in the presence of his' sovereign
and treated by her with a respect she
extended to. few. But not by word,
deed or gesture did he claim the, es-
tate of an equal. He was William
Shakespeare, the play -actor, and she
was Elizabeth Tudor, the conqueror
of Spain.
But the kindom of the .mind is •no
Venetian oligarchy.. ''Those who speak
the same language ,are all madefree
of it And queen and mine, alone, per-
haps' among that assembly, were able
to 'address each other• in the univers-
al tongue. Seldom, of late years at
.least, had this crabbed, difficult and
arrogant woman, been seen in a mood
so accessible. She • spoke freely to
this man of things, of which few had
heard her speak. And presently sire
said:. -
• "I hope, MasterShakespeare, you
will devise a new play for our diver-
sion." .
"Already, • your grace," said the
dramatist, "there Is a new play tak-
ing shape in my head. And if on a
day it should have' the great good for-
tune to please the fancy of your
grace, the least of your servants will
be the ,happiest man in your realm."
The words themselves may not
have been without irony, but the gen-
tle voice showed no trace of that
quality which the countrymen of
Shakespeare so mulch distrust: •
"That is indeed high news, Master
Shakespeare. And of your bounty do
we Bray you that your new diversion
be all in the mood of comedy as is
this inimitable piece we have seen
this afternoon." •
"Alas, your grace!" The playwright
shook his head. "We' poor makers of
plays are no more than mortal .men.
And as mortal men are subjects to
the coils of g'at'e, so are the charac-
ters we weave subject to those laws
which govern our being."
"I don't understand,"
Queen,
"We makers of plays, your grace,
often have but a small part in Our
own •contrivances. Many a time have
I devised •a play in the spirit of com-
a try, but it is ever the characters
thOifl'lelves who spin the plot And
whether they shall spin it to a comic
or a tragic issue none but themelves
shall say."
"But you are the moulder and the
master of your characters, are you
not, Master S•heitespeare?"
"Alas, your grace, my characters
are the niaulders, and the masters of
mel"
The Queen Was perplexed by so
paradoxical a saying.
"I confess," said she, "I should ever -
have thought it to be otherwise Now
is it that you would, have us believe
that although you have yourself de
vised the characters and the plot of
yaur new interlude,' you have co lit-
tle hold, upon them' that yon know not
until your play is Written whether it

"That ..seems 'very, odd, Master
Shakespeare. And our counsel to
you is to take a very speedy and se-
cure hold upon your charaeters tan,
leas you would court our grave dis-
pleasure."
"Alas, your grace!". Theplay-wr,ght
sighed heavily.
"Tell me, sirrair, what is your per-
plexity-?" •
"To tell my perplexity, your grace,
would involve the .whole plot of the
story,' and a recital of that your
grace, would douhtlese find tedious."
The Queen, ha,weyer, in the ex --
pensiveness of her mood, assured the
author that he need have no fears
•upon that account. On the contrary,
.She professed herself delighted at
.the prospect o1 hearing it. She ,avow—
ed, besides, that 'her ladies would be
immensely diverted by hearing ' the
argument of the new play fresh from
sthe mint of the poet's 'invention.
• 'Do you' tell tis the story, I be-
seech you, Master, -_ SShakespeare!"
said the Queen. "And- altholigkr I
cannot pretend•' that an unlearned
woman such as myself has it in her
power to resolve • your perplexitY,
there are about us those of quick
'parts who salt hear it, who, I doubt
„not, will be able to give you valuable
advice• upon the conduct of your
play."
Doubtless the Queen spoke In
mockery, since at heart she was -a
despiser of most men and of all' wo-
men. Mr. William 'Shakespeare, how-
ever, was fully prepared to take her
at her word.
The-. poet, in order to give full of
feet .to his narrative, rose from the
chair upon which he was seated.
With perfect self-possession, and as
air of supreme mastery which it is
given to few men to attain, he stcod
to confront the Queen and the ex-
pectant and , critical throng, of her
courtiers.
The -lives of Gervase Heriot and of
Anne Peversham were at 'stake, And
instinctively •the poet, knew that his
own life -4/as at stake also, No' hazard
could have been more perilous than
tat upon which he new propr,serl' to
embark. He was about to take a
very grave liberty. with• ad august
personage who was notoriotistyn•quick
to resent even' a miner one. '

move: on a plane . where the mere
personal equation is of 'very little ac -
'count. Had the least thought of self
entered it, such a hazard had not
been for a moment possible. His own
bafety and freedom were as nothing.
The whole force of his mind was cen-
tered• in the hope of preserving the
lives of. these 'hapless, children of
destiny.
"I will give the plot of the, play
as 'briefly as I can, your grace. And
under your grace's favor artd that of
the ,ladies and .gentlemen of your
court I, will beg you to devise a fit-
ting and proper conchfsion for it and

of .that sort," said Sir John.
- Asked why he said that food should
have,.f rst attention when there Were
so many big international problems,
he said: "For three main reasons:.
The first is obvious: Food is the most
fundamental need for life and health:
The people who do not have enough
of it far .outnumber those who do.
Therefore, we can do more for hu-

That Will give full employment, in-

panded

ply the world's real wealth, which is
a, steeples night." •
The playwright spoke in a clear and
measured tone. His voice was raised
so that all might hear every word
distinctly. 'The'air .of the man, whicl.
was far too much infused with the
p'ay of a noble minds to bear any
suggestion of effrontery, had already
made a profound impression upon all,
Such ay voice, such a demeanor made

that the recital of thus story involv-
